Killing Gaddafi didn't make it better. I doubt killing Haftar would. Rather, a systematic and sequential destruction of the massively corrupt and oppressive system that allows these dictators to operate, should be the objective.

The issue seems to be, without a strong and big economy, it would be hard for Türkiye to back up its geopolitical and security ambitions across the North African coast in the long run. Thus, there is work to do at home as much as aboard.

Just leaving it here. Mod can move it if they think some other thread would be more suitable. ASELSAN announced its first half profit ASELSAN's financial results for the first half of 2023 have been announced. Having increased its profits by 42% in the first six months, ASELSAN's six-month...

The red circle in the Japanese circle symbolises Sun.

It probably won’t happen. They did some flirting with Roketsan for joint collaboration on MLRS and a signed a MOU, then they turned to Chunmoo-239 deal.

It was previously reported that, Israel has sold 200 markava to two different countries. One of them was European. Other one was speculated to be Morocco. Now Morocco alone buying 200?

Thales ain't steeling the credit. This is from their website. 'The JACKAL drone capability has been designed and developed by experts from UK-based Flyby Technology, with Turkish partners FlyBVLOS Technology and Maxwell Innovations providing design engineering and prototyping expertise, to...

@Flextape My conclusion from reliable open sources is that, around 630 BTR are in the inventory. That accounts for roughly 15 Mech battalions. Now, if each divison has at least 1 sp Mech Bn and 1 regular Mech Bn then it is already 20. However, 9th division has 5 additional. (Including the one...

Just one more clarification though. Do you mean, other than support battalions each division also has at least 1 more Mech battalion?

@dBSPL can you post the full article please? Cause, I ain't spending 14 usd for subscription.🙃

Then there must be more than 15 Mech battalions in total. Thanks for clarification. However, now I am wondering if ATGMs are only exclusive to support battalions or they are also distributed among regular infantry battalions?

Libya needs some BD peacekeepers.🤣

You are welcome. If I am not mistaken, NGD is rumoured as project 18. (Not official designation)

I thought Ottoman kept the Crescent-star bacause it also signify as islamic symbol?

I know you didn't asked me but yesterday @Gessler posted this.

Didn't quite get it. Could you elaborate it little further? Iirc, previously you said 93rd armd bde consist of 2 Mech battalion and 1 armoured regiment? Or do mean now that, one of the Mech battalions in 93rd armed bde is BTR?

Jokes aside, does Turkish flag's red colour symbolise martyrs blood? For example, the red circle in middle of BD's flag symbolises our martyrs blood and sacrifice.

The problem is, no matter how trained and well equipped a brigade is, it is insufficient and too small as a tactical formation. Libya need at least a division size formation (similarly equipped and trained) to deal with this mess.

While the new radar seems very good, Nobody is shooting Ballistic missiles at India from either side of the Indian Ocean. Maybe it will have better application with land based ABM system(?)
